Rock,

you sit on the ground,

proud and magnificent,

standing alone

for only those

wise enough to see.

Your crystal surface glimmers

in the Sun's light,

for you are the Sun,

the radiant rays you cast

visible across the world.

Small yet strong,

the embodiment of grace

and strength,

Your power inconceivable

to the weak mind.

You have killed

and you have saved.

You have been defeated

by Paper,

yet she still cannot compare

to what you hold.

The bumps and imperfections

decorating

your pearly white skin

glitter

like stars

scattered across the night sky.

They, somehow,

add to your unrivaled

beauty.

We come and go,

but you stay mighty.

The trees and blossoms,

lovely as they are,

are your descendants.

For you are as old

and wise

as time.

Nature has blessed us

with your overwhelming grace

in every corner

of this little world.
